Glory Baby

This past week was very emotional for me. My poor mom received numerous phone calls from me upset, crying, and just wanting to talk. I hesitated to even write this post because I am not sure one is supposed to talk about this and I was worried about what people would think, but then I thought "why not?...everyone that reads this blog is a friend or family member and they will understand." So I hope you do understand that I just need to express my feelings in words and mention our little Glory Baby.
Friday, October 31st marked one-year that we lost our baby due to a miscarriage. I couldn't help but feel a total loss and sadness on that day. I know this is an uncomfortable subject, but it was still our baby and I can't just ignore what an impact this little life (even though we never met him or her) had on us. There is a song by the Christian group, Watermark, called "Glory Baby" and it is beautiful. It says everything I feel about our baby. If I can, I will try to put it here on my blog.
Then I was researching some things online today and saw that October 15th was pregnancy and infant loss remembrance day. I didn't know that there was such a day, I hate that I missed it. But I took that as a confirmation that I should do this post and remember our little angel. I also want to remember some other little angels that touched many lives...my nephews, Matthew and Joshua, and Jordan and Logan. I know that all these babies and many others that never got to experience a life here on earth, are with their Heavenly Father living a perfect life, cradled in the arms of Jesus.
I also ask that each of you keep me and Kevin in your prayers as we try to have another baby. I have complete faith in God, that He will bless us. Thank you for believing that with us. Love, Brenda

We will continue to pray for you two. The boys love your blog and Caleb said he thinks naming a dog "Elvis" is so cool. We look forward to seeing you two in December! God Bless Amy
